They say it takes a village, and that is definitely true when planning a wedding. Whether it is a grand ballroom wedding, a beach soirée, or a private celebration at home, this is one of life’s biggest milestones. Your wedding should be the ultimate celebration of your relationship — and who better to make that happen than United Dumplings? To us, every wedding is a story of love and food. Our wedding catering service is far more than just business; our culinary craft extends to great presentation, stellar service, and all the finer details in-between.
From Tasting to Table
No two events are the same and such is our approach to a wedding catering service as well. At our initial consultation, we will get to know your specific vision, flavor profile, and budget, so that the entire menu can be tailored to your needs. We believe in the integrity of fresh, seasonal ingredients, which is why we use local California produce. We know you will taste the difference.
The style and flow of your event also matters. Buffet, plated dinners, creative food stations — they all set a distinct tone, and our team will help you choose the right dining option for your wedding. We will walk you through every aspect of the affair from start to finish, tweaking and revising until you give us the go ahead. Hence, you will know exactly what to expect when the day arrives.
Moreover, a wedding catering service with Asian fusion food offers a unique and exciting dining experience that blends time-honored recipes with contemporary culinary techniques. The vibrant flavors and colorful presentations of Asian fusion cuisine will impress guests, setting your wedding apart from traditional fare. Interestingly, many Chinese dishes are rich in symbolism, deeply rooted in cultural traditions and beliefs. For example, dumplings symbolize wealth and prosperity, while noodles represent long life and good fortune due to their length. The sweetness of sesame balls filled with red bean paste or steamed baos filled with lotus seed paste typically represent a joyful marriage. Hence, the thoughtful presentation and selection of Chinese dishes during weddings serve to convey heartfelt wishes to the couple.
At Your Service
Catering involves much more than just the food. From small details to big decisions, you would be surprised about what needs to be managed when planning an event — and our goal is to never make you find out either. We do the most so that you don’t have to.
Our staff is certainly the best at what they do, gliding around in discreet uniforms and ensuring that the guests are taken care of. This allows you to freely mingle instead of supervising your service providers. Our meticulous attention to our craft animates your event in a way that rote professionalism never could.
Let’s Start Planning
We recently provided wedding catering services for an intimate wedding right in San Francisco, where the food turned out to be an absolute crowd pleaser (obviously!). Our spread included dumplings (steamed, fried, in savory broths, you name it), pot stickers, stir-fried rice, veggies and more, finished with the highly popular fried sesame balls. Combined with our elegant set-up and impeccable service, this wedding will definitely have the guests raising their glasses for years to come.
We love what we do — and we are really good at it, if we say so ourselves. We will handle all the nuances of catering services for weddings, so you can enjoy your own event as a guest. We also provide catering boxes for corporate events or other social events. Just drop us a message, and we will take it from there.
